So sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she does well on the new chemo combination. If not there are other choices. A chemo called Navelbine is usually tolerable and can be taken with Herceptin.
Maybe your Mom can have more surgery after some of the cancer has been reduced by the chemo. Maitake and other Asian mushrooms are good for the immune system. Milk Thistle helps to keep the liver working well.
One of the other people who responded suggested Co Enzyme Q 10. It might help your Mom's heart during Herceptin.
Please ask your Mom to take good care of herself. Feel free to drop by this site anytime. I have my fingers crossed for your Mom.
